Health Update #2
I did some research and now I am concerned about the patellar hyperreflex or knee-jerk (click on movie icon below). Everything that I am finding points to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). I also called a doctor friend and she said that it is a serious finding and mentioned MS.
The tests that I have to take are SomatoSensory Evoked Potentials (SSER) and Visual Evoked Potentials (VER). Both tests are used to diagnose MS. There is also a history of autoimmune diseases in my family.
I was trying to find something less serious listed patellar hyperreflex as an indicator. The only thing that I found was a drug side effect. It was actually kind of funny when he was doing it and my leg would fly up.
